Good morning. My friend and I are in need of HELP finding a private driver for 3 days in Ireland (Aug 21-23).
We do not feel comfortable driving from the opposite side of the car.  We do not need a tour guide just transportation. We are hoping a taxi is not our only option. 
I have an itinerary planned:
21/08/25. Belfast 12pm to Glenariff Forest (hike waterfalls & lunch). Dark Hedges .Hotel; Greys at Bushmills
22/08/25. 8am Giants Causeway, Dunluce Castle, Carrick-a- Rede rope bridge, Donegal
Castle, Leonardo Hotel Galway 
23/08/25.  10am Doolin, Cliffs of Moher, Limerick hotel
Any suggestions on finding a list of drivers for hire we would greatly appreciate advice. Thanks for your consideration

Hi Sandra,

Thanks so much for sharing your itinerary - it sounds like you've got an incredible trip planned and you've chosen some fantastic spots to explore around our island! From Glenariff Forest and the Dark Hedges to the Cliffs of Moher and Doolin - you're in for an unforgettable adventure. 

You're definitely not the first visitor to feel a little unsure about driving on the opposite side of the road - it's a common concern, and it's great you're exploring other options so you can sit back and enjoy the views without navigating the roads themselves. A private driver is a fantastic solution, especially for multi-stop trips like yours, where comfort and flexibility can make all the difference. 

You can find professional private drivers and chauffeur services listed in the Transport & Getting Around section, where you'll see a range of options depending on your needs. 

In addition, you may find it helpful to browse other community threads where fellow travellers have shared first-hand recommendations for reliable drivers they've used in the past. 

I hope this helps - feel free to reach out again if you need help choosing between companies or adjusting your itinerary. 

Enjoy your trip! ☘️
